(169 cards)
point of shoulder in horse
cranial part of the greater tubercle of the humerus
which animal has cranial and caudal parts
idk
id parts of bones
k
what passes through the medial gorrove in the radius
extensor carpi obliquus tendon
what passes through the middle groove in the radius
extensor carpi radialis tendon
what passes through the lateral groove in the radius
common digital extensor tendon
radius and ulna in the horse
fused distally
radius and ulna in the ruminants
shaft of ulna comes all the way down
dorsoscapular ligament is present in the
horse
what is the dorsoscapular ligament
part of the thoracolumbar fascia in the area of the withers
dorsoscapular ligament has several
layers or lamella
dorsoscaplar ligament attaches to
thoracic spins (and supraspinous ligament) at the withers (T3 to T5)
What is the dorsal part of the dorsoscapular ligament composed of
dense, colagenous connective tissue
ventral part of dorsoscapular ligament
thinner and has numerous elastic fibers as well as CCT
Ventral part of dorsoscapular ligament has numerous
lamellae that intersect scapular part of serratus ventralis m.; lamellae attach to deep surface of the scapula
what is the function of the dosroscapular ligament
helps absorb concussive force of the foot as it strikes the ground to reduce upward (dorsal) movement of the scapula
origin of dorsoscapular ligament is next to
supraspinous bursa
infection of supraspnous bursa can lead to
draining tracts that follow lamellae of dorsoscapular ligament; over days to weeks, swelling can occur; can be in multiple locations-swellings rupture and release mucopurulent discharge
how to cure this
difficult to cure; medical management alone is rarely effective- need surgical debridement as well as medical treatment
in the horse, superficial thoracic vein (spur vein) drains into
thoracodorsal vein which drains into the axillary vein
OR the spur vein drains directly into the axillary vein
subclavious attachments in the horse
originates at cranial sternum (1st to 4th costal cartilages) and inserts at aponeurosis over dorsal part of supraspinatus m. and shoulder fascia
what is the innervation of the subclavious
pectoral nn.
what is the action of the subclavious
adduct and retract the thoracic limb; when limb is advanced and fixed, to draw the trunk cranially
supraspinatus attaches to
greater and lesser tubercles of humerus
